Whoever is the designated Emergency Management Agency operator hits the button.
In The Gump, that's the fire department.

I got a couple videos of a funnel cloud forming just over my town. It touched down about 15 miles away. Will post it once it is uploaded.

Not the greatest video, but the first one, you can see the funnel dive down a bit. The second video it was more pronounced. When it got out of my view, it apparently touched down around 10-15 miles northeast of where I live.
Another cell approaching right now that looks wicked as fuck. This should be it for us. I may/may not get video of it as it is getting dark and is probably another half hour away. It is supposed to be much worse though. frisco family all huddled in the basement for the night...thank god for the bar down here. Cheers.

I double-checked and learned that The Gump FD gets their orders directly from the NWS.
